In another topic, I saw someone posting about http://www.etsy.com, and thought it might be a cool idea to start a thread where we can all share the wonderful places we have found on the web that sell handmade goodies.
So I'll start with some of my favorites!
1. http://www.etsy.com - I love this site. It has hundreds and thousands of handmade items you can buy. From soap, jewelry, toys, you name it and they probably have it.
2. http://blackphoenixalchemylab.com - 100's of Hand-blended perfume oils with a variety of themes… (from Alice in Wonderland to geographical locations.) Once you try these you'll never want an alcohol based perfume again.
3. http://www.possets.com - Another wonderful company that sells hand-blended oils.

Hi All!
I have to put the kudos out there for Etsy! It is truly an excellent venue for handmade art.
I have my Etsy store:
Silentgoddess on Etsy
I sell mixed metal jewelry. I work mostly in copper and sterling silver but every once in a while mix it up a bit and toss in some gold too.
Anyone looking to sell their art or craft really should take a look at Etsy. It has been really good to me for the last two years not only as a seller but as a buyer too ;)

I have an Etsy shop, although I don't have anything listed there right now. http://maplecorners.etsy.com. I hope to change that soon.
I also have my own website, where I have a few things up right now. http://maplecorners.com. I make felted items, handspun yarn, rovings and batts from my fiber herd of alpacas. I am also coming out with some photo notecards in the near future.
Thanks, Suzanne, for helping us get the word out for handmade goods!

More handmade goodies!
Arcana Soaps ( they currently do not sell to the public, but their site has links of online places and local places to buy their products from), I chose to order mine from the online store The Soap Box Company, and they got here today! …and just WOW. I wish they had a way to share smells on the internet, because everything smells lovely!!!
The 5 bars that I got from Arcana were:
Compline, Inari, Tommelise, Festival Floozy & Queen Crossbones
I definitely see more soap from these guys in my future! Muwhahaha.
Another excellent company that I've ordered from before and really enjoyed was: The Silk Road Trading Company. Their bar called Singapore is one of my favorites, but I've been eyeing up the Chai Wallah they have too! 
Ahhh retail therapy!

I have an Etsy shop. I sell handmade fine silver jewelry. I use a mix of precious and semi-precious stones and my own handmade glass cabochons. My “shop” is
http://www.maisonettesuzette.etsy.com
I've thought of selling other things I do…but think it might not be a good idea to mix other kinds of items with my jewelry. Does anybody else sell totally different kinds of things?

Wow! Went to the Soap Box Company….great soaps. I also have a passion for triple milled french soaps. They lather really well and since they are triple milled, they last quite a long time.
There is nothing quire as lux as a hot bath and a new bar of creamy, sudsy soap!

Wow Suzette, your jewelry is totally beautiful and very artistic!!!
I do so many crafts I cant really do just one thing at a time.
My favorite are quilting and oil painting. But I have just about done every craft (except knitting) known to woman kind. Right now I am in to making lotions, lip balms and bath products. I think I will check into etsy and see about the fees and such. I really could use the money to support my excessive habit of hording fabrics!

I adore Etsy as well, I am contemplating selling there, but I am a mainstay on Ebay
at Cranberry-Creek-Hollow, and working full time doesn't leave me much time.
I do buy tons on Etsy tho! Every single Seller is just the sweetest and so personable.
I am tring my hand at penny rugs right now, they are just adorable!

I must be the cardmaker and papercrafter of the group. Some would call me a scrapbooker, but I can't say that because I rarely make scrapbook pages. Mostly cards, altered journals and mini books, but my husband says that if anything stands still long enough, I'll cover it in paper.
I don't sell anywhere, I usually give my stuff away. I love etsy tho!
I'm going to have to check out ya'lls sites.

I don't sell on Etsy yet (it's on my list of things to do) but I do have a website where I sell handcrafted personalized Christmas Ornaments and jewelry made from polymer clay. It's in the link below.
